Hi,

How can i give two paths in one input_type with different document_type for each path. I tried it by giving like this:

- input_type: log
  paths:
    - F:\logstash-2.4.0\logstash-2.4.0\bin\samp.txt
  document_type: exceptions
    - F:\logstash-2.4.0\logstash-2.4.0\bin\slowlog.txt
  document_type: slowlogs

But filebeat 5.3.1 is only taking the second one all the two paths which i checked in logstash by giving stdout

Thanks

I think you will need 2 different prospectors, like:

- input_type: log
  paths: 
    - F:\logstash-2.4.0\logstash-2.4.0\bin\samp.txt
  document_type: exceptions

- input_type: log
  paths:
    - F:\logstash-2.4.0\logstash-2.4.0\bin\slowlog.txt
  document_type: slowlog

Thanks @exekias

Basically i have two logs in which only for one i need to apply multiline codec but if i enabled in multiline codec in filebeat it will use it for all the paths that i had mentioned in the prospectors because of this i am not getting proper output.

I understand that solves your multiline issue too, feel free to mark it as solution if that's the case :slight_smile:
